Plano Commercial Real Estate — Dallas, TX
Mature, built-out office market. Toyota HQ Legacy West, AT&T new global HQ Park at Legacy 107 acres. Legacy West $785M Kite/GIC, Texas Research Quarter biomedical.
Mature Corporate Headquarters Market Consolidating Giants
Plano has evolved into Dallas-Fort Worth's primary corporate headquarters destination, with the largest office inventory and highest concentration of Fortune 500 operations. The market is mature but continues attracting mega-anchor relocations: AT&T's new global headquarters (Park at Legacy, 107 acres, completing 2028) and Toyota's North American HQ solidify Plano's position as the region's corporate command center.
Legacy West ($785M, developed by Kite and GIC) represents the platinum-standard mixed-use development model: 1M+ SF office, luxury residential, premium retail, and hospitality within a comprehensive business district. The Texas Research Quarter (initiated via EDS's original Plano campus) is undergoing transformation from technology manufacturing to biomedical research and innovation—a strategic pivot reflecting sector evolution.
However, Plano's office market is built-out with limited new supply. Tenants and investors must compete for existing stock or negotiate replacement-cost economics for repositioning plays. Our team identifies opportunities within the Legacy portfolio, secondary buildings with motivated sellers, and emerging biomedical/life-sciences tenants seeking Research Quarter positioning.
Legacy, Dallas North Tollway & Telecom Corridor
Legacy West (Plano Parkway & Dallas North Tollway intersection) anchors the premier Class A corridor with Toyota's HQ, multiple Fortune 500 regional operations, and high-end residential. Dallas North Tollway provides rapid access to downtown Dallas (20 minutes) and the airport. The traditional Telecom Corridor (Coit Road, Collins Avenue) remains well-occupied despite suburban outmigration.
Park at Legacy (AT&T HQ, 107 acres, 2028 completion) will add 2M+ SF office and mixed-use development, further anchoring the submarket. Secondary corridors (Windy Hill, Spring Creek) offer older Class B stock with value-add repositioning potential. Our team evaluates institutional quality versus opportunistic plays to match investor profiles.
Corporate HQ Consolidation & Legacy Anchoring

AT&T and Toyota anchor institutional capital and talent recruitment. Legacy West sets the standard for mixed-use corporate campuses. Our team positions Plano for Fortune 500 expansions and strategic corporate moves reshaping DFW's employment landscape.
